Behesht Restaurant draws praise for authentic Persian flavors, with koobideh, chenjeh, and barg kebabs, flavorful rice, and dishes like fesenjan and ash that many find consistently delicious. The atmosphere is warm and traditional, with elegant decor and attentive, friendly service that makes it feel welcoming for dates, family meals, or group dining. While the food quality and portions are often highlighted as excellent and good value, a few guests note occasional issues such as over-saltiness, undercooked items, or inconsistent preparation, and some experiences with wait times or crowded spaces. Takeout and catering experiences are mixed, with generous portions and timely delivery mentioned by some and complaints about preparation, packaging, or delays by others. Overall, Behesht is regarded as a standout Persian option in Montreal, known for flavor, ambiance, and hospitality, with some room for improvement in consistency and logistics.
The food was delivered with a three-hour delay. When I first followed up, they said the driver had mistakenly marked it as picked up-but even after that, they still didn't send it. There's absolutely no sense of responsibility or follow-up. We ordered lunch, & it's apparently arriving as a late afternoon snack-if it arrives at all, because it still hasn't. Honestly, if it were possible, I wouldn't even give this one star. Not to mention that sometimes they just leave the order at the door, & when we order hot food, it arrives cold
Behesht is a respectable restaurant offering high quality food without the gastronomic'pretense culture'. The decor is modest, warm & original. If you need sunlight, you will have plenty. I invited some friends there & we all appreciated the fesendjan, it was our first 😊. It's definitely a win. Thank you to the employees who contribute to the near elysian experience. Behesht, you won your spot in my Montreal restaurant Trinity 🥳
Food is so bad. Looks like they add liquid smoke to their sour chicken for it to look like it was grilled in charcoal. Chicken was half cooked. Rice was so bad. Washroom is also so dirty . I don't recommend at all.
We visited as a group of 4 & while the food quality was good & most staff were pleasant, our experience was significantly impacted by one staff member who was responsible for serving our area.
Throughout our visit, I had to get up THREE times & walk to the service area myself because we were being ignored. Each time, this staff member responded with visibly rude & dismissive reactions - which was both unprofessional & uncomfortable for our entire group.
It's a shame, because the kitchen did a great job & the other employees were friendly. However, one person's behavior can ruin an entire dining experience for a table of 4. I hope management addresses this, as it would make a real difference.
I highly recommend this Persian restaurant. The food is delicious, fresh, clean, & clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere is beautiful, well-organized, & very pleasant, & the staff are polite & respectful.
The Koobideh kebab & Chenjekebab (grilled lamb chunks) are always our go-to choices-they're incredibly tasty, juicy, & made with great-quality meat. This place is a perfect option for a date night or for dining with friends & family.
Wishing you continued success.
Je recommande vraiment ce restaurant. On y mange très bien : les plats sont savoureux, frais & bien préparés, & on sent que la qualité est au rendez-vous. Le cadre est agréable, propre & bien organisé, & l'équipe est toujours souriante & respectueuse.
À chaque fois, on prend le kebab koobideh & le kebab chenjeh (morceaux d'agneau grillés) : c'est super bon, bien juteux, & la viande est de très bonne qualité. C'est une adresse parfaite pour un dîner à deux, mais aussi pour partager un bon repas avec des amis ou en famille.
On reviendra avec plaisir. Merci & bonne continuation !
In my opinion, this is the best Iranian restaurant in Montreal right now. I tried the Toranj Platter, which was delicious, followed by their Napoleon pastry & tea-it was the perfect combination. The food quality is consistent, & the staff are incredibly friendly & welcoming. If you're looking for authentic Persian flavors & a warm atmosphere, this is definitely the place to go.
I went to Behesht Restaurant on Thursday night after quite a while The service was good the rice was great & the marinated olives were excellent
I ordered koobideh & it was even better than usual I'd had it before but that night it was absolutely amazing I truly recommend that everyone go & try the koobideh
J'avais déjà réservé une table pour sept personnes. Tout était en ordre au moment de l'arrivée.
Notre serveur s'appelait Parsa, il était très poli & compétent.
J'ai eu diverses commandes. Mais à mon avis, Kal Kebab, le Barg & le Kase Kebab étaient les meilleurs de tous.
Après longtemps, un restaurant iranien de qualité a été trouvé au Québec.
Merci à vous
Amazing & delicious food. Quick service, not too long wait for food.
Young man was the host helping us get a table & he was very polite & kind helping accommodate our stroller & baby.
